Made to measure dry suit: how it works
DiveSystem has been making made to measure dry suits since 1993, in Italy. You can have yours made to measure without coming to us: we take the measures, from the photos you send us.
Size or made to measure: three ways
| Option | How it works | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Size + Dummy Box | We choose the size together based on your measures and send you one or more Dummy suits to try at home with your undergarment. | Free in the EU when you buy the dry suit; outside the EU shipping costs vary |
| Size | You choose the size from the size chart. | — |
| Made to Measure | The suit is made on your measures, which we take from your 23 photos. | +300 € on the price of the suit |
The Dummy Box
Not sure about your size? Order the dry suit choosing «Size + (DummyBox Service)»: we choose the size together based on your measures and send you the right size, a slightly smaller one and a slightly bigger one. A Dummy suit fits exactly like your future dry suit: you try it at home with your undergarment, put everything back in the box and the courier picks it up. Free in the EU when you buy the dry suit. How the Dummy Box works
